[Bug 1338993] [NEW] Full Screen Mode does not work with open-vm-tools and Kubuntu 14.10

[Marco Parillo]

Public bug reported:

I normally use the VMware Player "Easy Install" for Kubuntu (and other
flavors), but for some reason it seems to hang on Kubuntu 14.10 Alpha 1.
So I tried the install later and then installing VMware Tools manually
(the way I have to for NetRunner), and that seemed to hang also. But on
Fedora, there is an open-vm-tools package, which I had never heard of
before, so I tried it in Kubuntu 14.10. It seemed to install smoothly,
but the full screen mode does not work (that is my display stays small).
Should this work (in other words, is it a bug), or am I missing the
point of this package on Ubuntu.
